'69 Nova SS

[ScaleModelAddict]

Started on a 69 Nova SS (Revell Special Edition) this evening. My son has one 1/2 built and I'm going to catch up to him, then we'll finish together. I have never built a car kit before. This could be interesting...

Basic assembly, cleanup so far.

[Dr. Cranky]

I think you are going to have quite a bit of fun. Watch out, it can be addictive. LOL.

[ScaleModelAddict]

I hear that.

[Aeroteto]

It´s good to see you build a car Scott.

This is gonna be fun.

Welcome to The Addiction!

I haven't worked 0n Anything else in several years, except Model Cars and My !/32 Scale Track and Cars. The Track was destroyed By A House Fire, so now it is Just Scale Model Cars.

[diymirage]

that sounds like a great way to bond

i cant wait for my boy to be old enough to build models...so far the only thing we build together is made out off gingerbread

[ScaleModelAddict]

Gingerbread / styrene, all the same really.

Looking forward to having a few hours to 'catchup' to him today...hopefully. Thanks for the interest guys.

[Chief Joseph]

Hi Scott! A father-son project is always great. I'm surprised you have time to build models these days-- don't you have an empire to run?

[ScaleModelAddict]

Lol. We're all busy right?

Here's a couple pics of todays progress:

I gotta quit for the night before I loose my mind. I have a new appreciation for all those that wire 1/25 engines. Nuts. Here's where I got today. I first made some wire boots (I think they're boots) then I tackled the actual wiring.

Still lots to do build wise and then some subtle weathering on this. Funny how the digital pics are so...true. I see CA and a seam that my eye didn't see. It could be because they are crossed.

Until tomorrow.

engine looks great... I think I see the CA and the seam youy are talking about... lol...

[diymirage]

Gingerbread / styrene, all the same really.

you'll know the difference once you try to eat the glue

great progress on the mill

you mentioned you never build a car kit before, what have you dabbled in, tanks?

[ScaleModelAddict]

LOL. Yeah I don't care to eat anymore glue.

Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah, this is my first 1/25 car build. As for dabbling...mostly sci-fi but I've tried armor, aircraft too. Here's a couple from the spring:

1/11 - AMT Speeder. Posed the scout.

1/72

This is 1/25/ Bash and scratch. DIY decals.

Now this one, well technically it's a 'car' I guess. 1/35 though, curbside. Scratch roof rack, back rack, brush bumper. Opened the doors. DIY wall..etc...

Anyhow..that's all stuff from 2012 - thanks for watching.

I don't mean to sidetrack with non-car stuff. I'm here for the cars man. Big time.
